transportation is the bloodstream of our economy. if it fails, our economy fails. however, the average bridge in our state is 51 years old. more than 4,000 of them are now deemed structurally deficient. in rural areas, some roads have been essentially cut in half because failing bridges have been closed to traffic, interrupting emergency services and threatening public safety. each day, one-and-a-half million pennsylvania students travel in school buses across those very same bridges and roads. our mass transit system has staggered under growing demand, aging infrastructure, and a lack of funding. mass transit is crucial to sparing our highways from congestion and providing a reliable environmentally friendly and affordable means of moving around a region. yet our customary way of funding transportation has fallen short of our needs. travel patterns have changed. cars have become more fuel- efficient. people buy less at the pump. coupled with rising construction costs and a lack of serious action from the federal government this drop in revenue threatens our roads
